The elusive "coyote" ran by my walkway the other morning. Sad to say it's not a coyote but rather a very handsome (skittish and untrusting) german shepherd mix. He's larger than a coyote and better kept. He also doesn't move with the purpose a wild animal moves with but rather with the attitude of a you can't catch me dog running free. Yes, I tried to lure him towards me with promises of treats and dogs to fight inside if he should think that's the way to go. He wasn't buying it and started to feel cornered. I hate that feeling and gave it up for his sake. Okay, fine. I more gave it up for Mr. F's sake as he was inside and all of this was going on unbeknownst to him. Would another totally unexpected (strange, stray, large, long haired) dog running around the house make him finally go over the deep end? We'll never know. On a side note I was kind of hoping it was a hungry coyote and that it would hear the dogs next door to me and go over the wall and in for the kill. Better luck next time I suppose... I kept thinking maybe I could simply give this shepherd mix ten up over our wall and he would bring it upon himself to call war for no other reason than he was finally caught with no escape and needed someone to take it out on?
My jewelry has been put on hold for now as I have run out of headpins. I saw it coming and didn't react on time. :F That's how I roll though so I am not for one second surprised. They're in the mail. This has given me time to plant all my seeds and pick out the picture of the James I am going to do in charcoal. Sweet.
Speaking of the seeds... I got a "bonus pack" of Larkspur seeds with one of my orders. I was PUMPED about planting them because of their incredible beauty, until I read up on them. Having a puppy in the house makes you read about plant life and the toxicity levels they have to offer. Not only do these plants contain calcium (making animals want to eat them) but they are so toxic a small amount can take down a cow. Now I just feel resentful and set up. I keep trying to find a place to plant them. Basically my mind is now full of corpses all around our stunning garden. It's nothing but one big deceased family pet party in here. woo hoo. I wish I knew someone that wanted this highly toxic plant just so they could blog it's progress for me damn it. I would do it for them if I could. Oh who am I kidding? I can't even do it for myself. I would probably just shrug and mention mucous discharge from vaginas. Oh yes, the location of the flowers has been changed. They were going to go out back, but we are undecided about building a saw work place next to the house. So they might end up out front. I'm of the opinion that we should cover in front of the back door for the saws and leave my flower bed the hell out of it. I'll keep you posted.
BTW, for a place where it supposedly never rains, it sure rains a lot here. It hailed a small while ago. That was unsettling and I was unhinged the entire time it came down. A huge thank you to Mr. Eastwood for skewing the true desert environment in my mind.
Anyway, here's the latest group of pictures. S inspired me enough to get them on here so you can thank him profusely. The yard is getting on so that is soon to come. Again I went a little nut house with the picture taking, seems to be the theme lately. I just want you to get the feel of things and that works best for me if I barrage you with as many pictures as possible. Flash? No flash? natural light? The jewelry cannot be caught on film how it truly appears. Shame really. Some of the green leafs have a iridescent shine to them and it's rather startling in the light. The brown leaf one is just sick as hell. It hangs all crazy (less uniform) on your wrist and chatters when you move. Pretty neat if you are into that kind of thing. If there were a Bead Land, I would be Queen.
